Tree root.
This bold and beautiful sculpture represents a woman's face at the center of a radiance of hair.
The rare quality of sculpture excludes a work of popular art. Hair work is a feat of comb sculpting. The face of perfect work is also modeled on the representations of mascarons under the Regency and even in console protomes under Louis XIV and Louis XVI for example.
It is therefore a French or European work impossible to date by its extreme quality independently of its artistic presence.
The root wood being made of tight fibers and therefore not cracking, we cannot date the wood either.
The roots were pegged together to keep their radiant shape, which is another asset of know-how. We will think of an excellent sculptor with classical knowledge having created this beautiful feminine “sun” with a mythological or even ethnic spirit.
